STATEHOUSE — State Rep. Jack Lutz (R-Anderson) is encouraging local students to apply for the Indiana House Page Program. The program offers students who are 13 to 18 years old the chance to visit the Statehouse and see a full day of legislative activity.

“The page program offers students a great opportunity to interact with the Legislature and see Indiana’s government in action at the Statehouse,” said Rep. Lutz. “I hope that students from our community take advantage of this wonderful chance to spend a day at the capitol.”

Along with visiting the Capitol and touring such locations as the Governor's office, the chambers of the Indiana House and Senate and the Indiana Supreme Court, pages get the chance to witness floor sessions and committee meetings and help staff members.

Students who serve as pages are excused from school for the day. Pages are responsible for their own transportation to and from the Statehouse.

Interested students are encouraged to schedule their visit quickly, as spots fill up fast. Pages are asked to include two different dates when they can come to the Statehouse between January and April. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays are the best days to serve because that is when the House is in session. There are no pages on Fridays. To sign up, visit www.in.gov/legislative/house_republicans/off_cms/page or call 1-800-382-9841.
